In the research, approach of the film that criticizes environmental pollution in the world was tackled with an ecocritical paradigm. One of the most admired animation film in the recent Wall-E was observed from first day to present in the article. Environmental problems are introduced can be listed like this: what critics are mentioned, whether have a view to greenwashing or not are examined with the analysis of discourse from the topics or not; “Shallow Ecology of the Consumer Society”, “Adam and Eva”, “Axiom from Utopia to Dystopia”, “Conflict of Human-Machine and New Materialism”.
